Mailing List Archive: $Request->Form() arrays

I am in the process of shifting from CGI.pm to the $Request->Form
($name) method for reading in form data in a few applications.
CGI.pm was handy because it automatically created an array for all
varialbles where there were multiple values. What is the best way in
Apache::ASP to get the data into an array, rather than just an array
ref?

Currently I am using:
my @Subjects = $Form->{Subjects};

But all I have access to is:
ARRAY(0xa21edd4)

Rather than a real array.

Thanks for any lesson in dereferencing...

I believe this will work for you:

my @Subjects = $Request->Form('Subjects')

but you may want to do this instead:

my @Subjects = @{$Form->{Subjects}};
